Out of desperation, some friends and I ordered delivery from Pickleman's. Obviously, the "gourmet" police are being paid off by the proprietor, because this food was far from that distinction. The Garden Chop salad I ordered came with the incorrect dressing, and absolutely none of the cheese promised in the menu. Ranch dressing is bad enough, as far as I am concerned, when it is at its proper consistency, but when as runny as my nose during ragweed season, it is even unappealing to people who like ranch dressing. This particular ranch dressing was so thin, it would not even stick to the rusted romaine stems that made up a goodly portion of the lettuce I received. Clearly, the baby has been thrown out with the lemon zest bathwater. If the #2 (how appropriate) Ham Sandwich actually had any provolone cheese on it, I was unable to detect it. The ham slice itself was so insignificant that I could barely perceive that there was meat situated in the iceberg lettuce and mayonnaise. If you enjoy sandwiches with perceptible fillings and salads that come with the promised ingredients, you might want to try a different sandwich shop. Oh, and the whole pickle that the concerned order taker indicated was threateningly huge? I've had bigger. read more

It is most definitely normal and safe. I would not feel adventurous ordering something different off the menu, as there really is not a whole lot of anything besides sandwiches. And yes, it is a sandwich shop, but I was expecting some exotic breed of sandwich. Give me something spicy, something bold, and fresh. Surprise me! Pickleman's is a place for consistently good sandwiches and soups that are well prepared and nicely presented. I had the chipotle chicken on wheat. The chipotle ranch was not spicy at all, and they didn't even use fresh chicken. I could tell from the first bite that it was the chicken breast that is flashed grilled, given fake black grill marks, then frozen, shipped and then cooked and heated in a warmer all day. Disappointing all together, especially when you pay more ($6 or 7). Give me some real chicken please. My fiance had the meatball marinara, and the menu boasted to have the tastiest meatballs. No. They were not the tastiest meatballs, sorry Picklemans. The restaurant was clean and modern, and they spent extra to make it look fairly gourmet with the granite counter tops and all. It was average at best, but still a good standby since they're open til 3 and they deliver. read more

The food and soups are amazing! I love the food here at pickleman's. It's a great place to work and there is amazing customer service!

Got out of the Bottleneck at midnight and needed some food. The 1st place that was open was Pickleman's Gourmet Café. Not sure why they call it Gourmet or Café. It was just another sub sandwich chain. It might as well be Subway or Firehouse or any of the other dozen chain sub shops. The staff was friendly, liked that they were open late, and had gardenaire as a topping; really nothing making me want to return. Why don't you get a pickle wedge? Your name is Pickleman's! read more

Sandwiches slightly tastier than the other sandwhich shops AND open late AND delivery serivce AND uses biodegradable disposable "plasticware"... Really. This is where it's at. Had a great italian sub with a ceasar salad to share. And, yes, I know the biodegradable stuff has to be composted to do any good, but it's a start. Totally a fan. read more

As always great sandwiches and fast service. I appreciate the drivers always making sure I know they delivered my food.

Too pricey it cost almost $50 for 3 sandwiches and a salad but the Italian beef sandwich is realy good. I wished you guys would lower the price because I'm not allowed to order from you guys anymore read more

Like others have said, just a standard sandwich shop. Don't expect to be blown away, but expect to leave thinking 'that was alright.' I didn't realize this was a chain but it sounds like it is. There are likely better options nearby for late night eats, but this filled us up and that counts for something I guess. read more

Yummy place tucked near the breezeway. I personally LOVE the BLTC. They are very friendly and accommodating.

Love ordering from Pickleman's! Quick and easy ordering online and great delivery time!

Ordered 2 sandwiches to-go and picked up and drove back to my house only to find out they got everything on the sandwiches wrong. Called and spoke to the manager and he said that he made the sandwiches himself and everything was correct. Well, he lied and got everything on both sandwiches incorrect. Told me I had to drive all the way back to the store in order to get a replacement cause "my house was out of range for delivery" when I live 10 minutes from the store. Absolutely ridiculous and garbage management and restaurant. read more

Love love love Pickleman's eating it every day around 2 am. Love this restaurant way better than any other place and recommend the cookies with the hog pizza . read more

Always hot, fast, and delicious! One time a driver forgot our soda, said he would be back, and was back with 3 he had purchased on his own dime from a nearby gas station. My roommates and I order from here because all the menu items are consistently very good read more

I love Pickleman's for carry out. They're fast and always get the food to me while it's still steaming. If you haven't tried their grilled cheese and tomato bisque yet, you have to! read more

I recently moved to downtown Lawrence and decided one day to try out Pickleman's. Since that first day I've gone back again and again - trying nearly everything on the menu. Everything I've tried has been absolutely delicious. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is AMAZING! So, if you can take the spice - I really don't think you can go wrong with this sandwich. Another great perk is that it's open till 3:00am and makes a great last stop after the bars close. Though I agree with some of the reviewers who mentioned the desire to have a larger sandwich or more food for the price would be a great "bonus" - I'm always satisfied with what I get. read more

I'm not sure I would classify this as "gourmet", but it's pretty damn tasty. I haven't had any of their sandwiches, but my co-workers seem to love them. I usually stick to soup+salad or pizza. Their pizza is well priced, and only takes a few minutes to get out of the oven thingy. Their baja chicken soup is amazing, I actually get cravings for it sometimes. It's a small chain, but it is owned locally, so I don't have much of a problem going in there personally. The owner is nice and is always making sure people are enjoying their meals. All of the other staff is very personable as well. OH, and they deliver til 3am. 3 AM. That's pretty freakin awesome. read more

Best sandwich in town! I also love their salads, they are always fresh and tasty. Great service, super fast delivery and yummy homemade chocolate chip cookies! Pickleman's will not disappoint your taste buds! read more

If there is one defining feature about Pickleman's, it is that they like to skimp on their portions. The catered sandwiches are sad; one measly slice of meat per croissant with pathetic limp strands of iceberg lettuce do not make for an appetizing serving platter. Also, don't come here if you have the munchies while out drinking. Pickleman's may be one of the few establishments on Mass St. that doesn't close until 3am, but the "grilled cheese" I had was literally a bun with melted cheese on it. Despite my carb craving I couldn't get myself to eat all of it. Pickleman's may seem like a good deal (most sandiwches around $5), but you certainly get what you pay for - or should I say, you DON'T get what you DON'T pay for. read more

I got pizza delivered from here. It took almost two hours to arrive. TWO HOURS. It cost me almost 15 dollars and it tasted like a piece of cardboard. Horrible service, crap food, and outrageous prices. I highly advice against ordering from here, you will regret it. They also didn't give me a refund or an apology. All I got was a condescending "I don't know what to tell ya bud." A pathetic establishment. read more

I love Pickleman's vegetarian-friendly options. They have great broccoli and cheese soup, as well as a lentil soup option, along with salads and vegetarian pizza. They're all winners! I always find the staff to be friendly and fast. Way better than your typical sandwich shop. read more

Awesome place for meetings, entertainment, good food, etc! Good, hot, delicious food. And really fast.

I've eaten here a few times and every time I leave very satisfied and full of delicious food!! Their pizzas are amazing, their sandwiches are god damn tasty, and the cookies....yes please!!!! read more

I used to order from this place occasionally after getting home from a late night out at the bars. It's very overpriced for the amount of food you get, but it was tasty enough that I continued getting it. Anyways, about two weeks ago I made my last ever delivery order from Pickleman's. I ordered the turkey bacon club, which is often lacking on the bacon/turkey portion (I honestly don't know why I got it). Anyways, I ordered it with no tomatoes, and the guy shows up at my door about 20 minutes later. I take a bite into the sandwich....and it has NO FREAKING BACON ON IT! Seriously, for such a simplistic sandwich, with the word BACON in the name, how do you forget the bacon?! Unbelievable. I ended up driving to the actual restaurant to bring my order back and get a refund. They offered to remake the sandwich (without first offering my money back - which made me even more angry, as I paid more to have it delivered, and of course I tipped the delivery driver). I got my money back, and haven't looked back since. I forgot to mention, the sandwich had tomatoes on it as well, which I asked them not to include. Great job Pickleman's! read more

We have to stop by every time we are in town. My son and I each get the Italian. I'm sure everything else is good...but we haven't made it past that sandwich. The staff is always attentive and appear to enjoy what they do. All good! read more

Bad food, bad delivery experience. My first time was also my last time. Just disappointing from first phone call to last bite. The BF thought his pizza was mediocre, and my sandwich and salad combination was downright bad. Overpriced, too. Two stars because the delivery guy was apologetic. Otherwise, it would have been only one star as Pickleman's acted bored that I was complaining about not having gotten the food I paid for. Ugh. read more

I wish there was an option to give it no stars. The manger was extremely rude when I asked if there was a way we could get a replacement for a pizza that tasted as if it had been sitting out for an extra 30 minutes before getting to out door. Never ordering here again. read more

Great people. Great customer service. I have ordered here many times and have never left feeling dissatisfied. I usually get a turkey sandwich from here and I love that they treat every sandwich individually. I have gotten the avo-cobb salad before but I didn't think it was enough salad for the price. So, I just usually stick with the turkey sandwich. Fast delivery also. So, if your on campus studying, this a major go-tp! read more

The dinky excuse for a sandwich that I got at Pickleman's was certainly not worth $4.50. You could barely see the 2 slices of paper thin turkey between the doughy bread. It was neither tasty nor satisfying. Go to Planet/Yello Sub for a hot sandwich, or a block down the street to Jimmy Johns for a much bigger, substantial one. Mad that I wasted my money on that poor excuse for a sandwich. It was more like a hot pocket, with less filling. read more

If you've had Potbelly in Chicago or DC, you'll appreciate Pickleman's. While the sandwiches are definitely overpriced (even relative to Potbelly in much more expensive cities), they don't disappoint. This is a welcome addition to the Mass St. quick service scene and a good alternative to Jimmy John's. read more

Probably the shittiest customer service in all of Lawrence. Called 20 minutes ago to place an order for delivery, the girl who took our order was fine. 20 minutes later we receive a call from the manager saying they aren't going to deliver our food because we are too far out of their range....... Which okay..... But I feel like if you take an order, you deliver it. It's crummy to wait 20 minutes and then not follow through. I may be hangry as I type this, but i won't be returning to Picklemans any time soon, for lack of customer service. read more

The amount of smoke in the restaurant is a serious health hazard. When I came in today it literally made me cough. By the end of my sub my eyes were watering and I felt sick. How can you not have an exhaust hood over your toaster? I seriously think it's a health hazard for their employees who are there everyday. Food is great but I'll only be going to the one on 23rd until they figure out that they need to vent smoke from their restaurant. read more

Pickleman's has a nice selection of salads that used to be good but are now chintzy with all the toppings and not made with fresh ingredients. They used to use real avocado on their salads but lately it's just been some sort of gross pre-made guac that tastes like it came from a squirt gun at Taco Bell. read more

A great little place along the Main Street here in Lawrence Kansas. Only came down here from Leavenworth area to shop but got hungry. Decided on this place after looking through 30 or so other local small shops along the area. Ordere this number # 8 sandwich. Amazing bread. Toasted. Tomato soup was better than Panera Bread! And then ordered to go a 10 inch flatbread pepperoni pizza with spinach. Great customer service. Very personable. Made food Incredibly fast. Definitely worth coming to. 5 stars easily!!! read more

Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe - Pizza Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

My Hubby and I stopped in for a quick bite before hitting the game on Saturday. The service was great and the food was stellar as always. Luv me the Italian and yes add the Peppers. You can even grab a jar of them to go! Thanks for the great grub! read more

Gourmet sandwich shop is probably a little extreme but they deliver a decent sandwich and soup. Reminded me a lot of Panera. I did the pick 2 with a half sandwich and a small soup and it was the right amount of food and it was super quick for two out of towners in a time crunch. Plus with a check in on yelp and spending $5, we got a free cookie! read more

This is the closest sandwich you'll find to Potbelly's, which we sadly don't have here. Their subs are toasty, tasty goodness. Request the hot pepper oil for a kick! read more

Just saying. For good hoagies. And delivered. Not too shabby. Good stuff. Toasted even as delivered

Always enjoy the sandwiches and fresh cookies from this location. Of course, I've only ever been here after visiting the Kansas Craft Brew Expo down the street at Abe and Jake's. But it is a good place to sober up, and the windows in the front of the store have seating so you can people watch on Mass St while you eat. read more

Had terrific soup & sandwich combos at Pickleman's tonight on Massachusetts in Lawrence. Enjoyed rubbing shoulders with all the college students. read more

So the food is just average. The soup is as bland as could be. The sandwiches are decent but nothing to write home about. The website however, is awful! It's almost worth going to look at the website just to look at the terrible pictures. They look like some really disgusting anatomy pictures. Seriously, check it out. The pics on the website will ensure that you never order from here again. read more
